Table 8. Summary of responses: What developments are underway that have potential to roll out in the next ten years? (Outside of your sector)

Category	Academia	Manufacturing	Farmers & veterinary surgeon	Other
Energy		Electrical baking, remove dependency on steam use Possibly lower power consumption milling but given that wheat and corn milling were the first processes to use external power, (Roman water mills) and grain must be processed to get the nutrition this may be difficult.	Green energy Long-distance electricity transmission (HVDC subsea cables) are likely to become very significant in a global clean electricity grid	Hydrogen as an energy source Electric and hydrogen vehicles
Technology	Robotics and sensing systems
Waste	Recycling of nutrients and further use of agricultural waste	Food manufacture from former food waste streams		Waste valorisation (to circular economy approaches)
Farming methods	Dietary additives to reduce enteric fermentation in ruminants - but only during the period when fed concentrates Nitrification inhibitors for application with nitrogen fertilizer.	New crops and cultivars Cultured meat, fish and milk
Biodiversity measures	Biodiversity measures at scales not previously imagined
